ABSTRACT:
An A/D converter comprises a first stage integrator for receiving an input signal, a last stage integrator, a multibit A/D converter connected to the output terminal of the last stage integrator, an outer feedback loop connected between the output terminal of the multi-bit A/D converter and the input terminal of said first stage integrator and having a 1-bit D/A converter, an inner feedback loop connected between the output terminal of the multibit A/D converter and the input terminal of the last stage integrator and having a multibit D/A converter, and a digital signal processing circuit, connected to the output terminal of the A/D converter, for performing digital signal processing of an output from the A/D converter to eliminate quantization noise caused by the outer feedback loop.
